Introduction

This document provides instructions to search for, add to, change, or delete a work file.

Procedure

While at the Work File Menu, you can also add lenses to your order, edit lenses for ordering, and remove lenses from the work file. You can scan SKUs and add lenses, or you may enter lens descriptions and have Optifacts search for the SKU to add.

Editing the work file is done through an Informix Perform screen. The commands for Informix Perform screens are at the end of this manual. You can update the quantity and the tray number associated with the SKU on this screen.

Procedure

You may also remove entries. Adding entries to the work file is not done through this screen. You may add lenses to the work file in several ways. The simplest way would be to scan a barcode each time for every lens you want to order. This method is “Fast Entering,” menu option 4 on the menu. If you need to order 20 lenses, you need to scan the SKU twenty times. If you enter an SKU that does not exist on your inventory system, a report printed lists these when you exit this routine. You then need to determine if the non-existent SKU entered was correct or if you need to add this SKU to your inventory system.

From the Optifacts main menu:

Select Option 9 - Inventory and press Enter.

Select Option 4 - EOE Procedures and press Enter.

Select Option 1 - Add to or edit the SKU work file

Select Option 4 - Fast Enter SKUs to write to a temporary file.

The Fast Entry screen displays.

  • Scan all the bar codes that you need to order.

You may also enter SKUs manually or by bar code using the following directions.

Add Lenses to the Work File by Description

Adding lenses to the work file by description allows you to search for SKU based on lens criteria. This feature comes in handy if you know what you need to order, who makes it but don’t know the SKU for the item. Search for the SKU and enter the quantity to order.

Select Option 3 – Add Lenses by Description (searches for SKU) and press Enter.

The Add by Description to Work File screen is displayed.

Add Lenses to the Work File by SKU #

Another method involving the SKU code is “Adding Lenses by SKU.” You scan or enter the SKU code and tell the system how many to order. This method is much quicker than “Adding Lenses by Description,” which has to search for the SKU from the lens description you’ve entered, but does require that you can identify the SKU for the lens you need to order.

Select Option 1 - Add to or Edit the SKU Work File and press Enter.

Select Option 2 – Add Lenses by SKU (searches for description) and press Enter.

The Add by SKU to Work File screen gets displayed.
